juss get a Z car cover and the anti theft device that locks onto your brakes and you will be better off

the time it takes for those teens to take the car cover off, someone can see them and know they're up to something

^^^ FTW. Though if you're going to dump your girlfriend anyway, it's worth taking a flyer and seeing if she'll double up on you with a friend of hers.

They have never seen my Z though HA.

Yep here's my beater. No one F()cks with it. Even if I gets a dent I just touch it up. It's pretty cool too in it's own right.

$1000-1500 gets you one.... ;-)

BTW - Car Covers work just use a rope underneath to keep it on and prying eyes away....
